Chapter 398: Breakaway
"In my opinion, if we continue to attack blindly, it will be impossible to break the formation. The only way now is to enter the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation, attack one place together, and force our way through the formation." Dugu Feng pondered for a while and said so.
"This is not a bad idea." Lei Ming Patriarch said thoughtfully.
Fairy Jin Xi did not speak, but looked at Wanqi Hong without comment, as if he wanted him to make a decision.
At this time, Wanqi Hong did not make a decision immediately, and frowned slightly.
He had already broken through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and had been practicing in seclusion in recent years in order to make further progress. He did not know much about Su Zimo's situation. Just now, his flying sword broke into the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation and was almost sealed by the formation. If he went in with his real body, the sealing force he would bear would probably be even greater.
"What? Daoist Wanqi is timid?" Dugu Feng looked over, smiling.
"If Daoist Dugu dares to go in, how can I not dare?" Wanqi Hong said calmly.
"Since that's the case, let's not delay any longer. Let's start right away." Dugu Feng waved his sleeves, and the black long sword shot out. The sword body appeared with strands of black lightning, and it slashed on the yellow cloud.
A low and hoarse thunder sounded, and the yellow cloud was split open with a huge gap of more than ten feet long and several feet deep.
Without waiting for the crack to heal, the four Yuanying stage cultivators led by Wanqi Hong rushed into it first, each with a magic weapon, and bombarded in all directions.
Although Yuan Ming and other Jindan stage cultivators were a little unsure, they had to bite the bullet and follow in at this time. They also offered magic weapons and talismans and other items, and launched attacks with Wanqi Hong and others.
The yellow cloud rolled and tried to heal, but it couldn't catch up with the damage caused by everyone's magic weapons, and the crack soon expanded several times.
The group walked forward while destroying the yellow sand formation, and soon advanced twenty or thirty feet.
Yuan Ming also took out the emerald jade ruler magic weapon and attacked the surrounding yellow clouds, feeling strange in his heart.
The space on the second floor of the black tower is not very large, and the range of the Wanli Yellow Sand Array should not be wide. They have been walking for so long, but they haven't reached the end yet?
However, his Five Elements Illusion Array also has the effect of creating illusions and expanding space. Since the Wanli Yellow Sand Array is a secret of Guiyuan Sect, it is not surprising that it has this effect.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The Wanli Yellow Sand Array suddenly vibrated, and the aura it emitted surged. The yellow cloud also quickly became thick and almost condensed into substance. The effect of everyone's magic weapons hitting it was greatly reduced.
Not only that, the yellow cloud quickly squirmed and squeezed in from all directions.
Everyone hurriedly increased the power of the magic weapon, but it didn't have much effect. The crack space that was originally several feet in size quickly decreased by nearly half, and everyone was about to be submerged by the yellow cloud.
The old ancestor Lei Ming let out a light exclamation and pointed at the thunder seal on his head.
The thunder seal magic weapon immediately flew up half a foot, shooting out thick lightning bolts, and then fell down, forming a hemispherical lightning curtain that enveloped everyone.
Wanqi Hong, Dugu Feng, and Fairy Jin Xi didn't want to let Lei Ming Patriarch bear it alone, so they also activated their magic weapons to help and merged into the lightning curtain.
Although the magic weapons of several people have different properties and there are conflicts between them, they are all in the Nascent Soul stage, so this little trouble is naturally not difficult for the three of them.
The lightning curtain became more than twice as thick, and runes, sword shadows and other patterns appeared on it, emitting golden, purple and black light, forming an extremely solid magic shield.
The yellow cloud came with a roar, hitting the magic shield like a huge wave.
The three-color shield made an unbearable creaking sound, but it still endured it.
"Su Zimo is only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, how could he exert the power of the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation to this extent!" Lei Ming Patriarch frowned and said.
Wanqi Hong and Fairy Jin Xi didn't say anything, and even Dugu Feng, who was quite familiar with Su Zimo, remained silent, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
However, at this moment, yellow lines penetrated from the yellow cloud and penetrated into the magic shield. It was the array pattern that sealed Wanqi Hong's flying sword before, but it was several times thicker than before.
The originally thick shield quickly became thinner, and yellow lines also appeared on the magic weapons of the four people, and the spiritual light quickly weakened.
The expression of Lei Ming Patriarch changed slightly, and he immediately pinched the formula to point it out.
The Thunder Seal magic weapon shot out dazzling lightning arcs, tearing the yellow lines on it.
Wanqi Hong, Fairy Jin Xi and others also followed suit, destroying the yellow lines, and the three-color light curtain immediately restored its previous thickness.
However, more yellow lines surged out of the big array, forcing the four people to continue casting spells and unable to move forward.
At this moment, the surrounding yellow clouds suddenly surged like boiling. Although the power increased a little, the spiritual power in the Wanli Huangsha array became wild. It was not as tight as before, and the swarming yellow lines also decreased by half.
Wanqi Hong's eyes lit up slightly, and he opened his mouth and spurted out three golden flying swords. The two flying swords in the three-color shield also fell down.
The five flying swords merged together, and after a flash, they turned into a golden giant sword.
Wanqi Hong flew out of the sky, and his whole body burst into a terrifying golden light. He actually merged into the golden giant sword in a blur.
The golden giant sword turned into a shocking sword rainbow, pierced into the yellow cloud in front, easily tore the yellow cloud apart, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Lei Ming Patriarch waved his sleeves to wrap up Yan Sijing next to him.
The thunder seal magic weapon in the air fell down, and the dazzling lightning flooded his and Yan Sijing's bodies.
Aw!
Accompanied by the sound of dragon roars, a silver thunder dragon more than ten feet long shot out from it, following Wanqi Hong closely, moving along the yellow cloud that had not yet closed, and also disappeared in a flash.
Yuan Ming's eyes showed strange colors. These Yuanying-stage cultivators had indeed retained their strength to a certain extent before. The magical powers displayed by Wanqi Hong and Lei Ming Patriarch now were their true strength.
Especially Wanqi Hong, who seemed to have just performed the legendary "Human Sword Integration" technique of sword cultivators.
"Human Sword Integration" is a famous magical power among sword cultivators. Not only is the escape speed amazing, but it can also increase the power of flying swords several times. It is the magical power that all sword cultivators dream of.
However, this magical power has almost been lost and has not been heard of for many years. I didn't expect Wanqi Hong to meet him. Changchun Temple is indeed the largest sect in the Central Plains with a profound foundation.
The three-color shield was already in danger. Wanqi Hong and Lei Ming Patriarch recalled the magic weapon. The shield finally couldn't be maintained and collapsed. Several people in the shield were blown away.
Dugu Feng was about to follow Lei Ming Patriarch, but he was a step late. The storm caused by the explosion of the shield came first.
He cast a spell to protect himself, and shot out two black sword qi from his hands, engulfing Xiying and another black-robed monk, pulling them back to his side.
Fairy Jinxi also cast a spell to protect Pi Xiu, and then threw a golden light shield towards Yuan Ming.
However, Yuan Ming was standing a little far away from Fairy Jinxi, and the wind pressure generated by the explosion of the shield hit him hard, and the whole person flew backwards like a meteorite, hitting the yellow cloud behind him first.
Yuan Ming was like a leaf falling into the huge waves of the river and the sea, and was swallowed up in an instant.
Fairy Jinxi was shocked, and immediately urged the golden scroll, countless words shot out, condensed with each other, and turned into a golden net in an instant, covering the place where Yuan Ming disappeared, like a fisherman casting a net.
Fairy Jinxi pinched the golden scroll with a finger, and the big net was quickly retracted, but it was empty.
Xiying's expression changed slightly, and then his eyes suddenly moved, and he returned to calmness.
The nearby yellow clouds became more and more agitated, and storms like sword energy cut in, and the protective auras of Fairy Jin Xi and Dugu Feng also shook.
"The power of this Wanli Yellow Sand Formation is getting more and more amazing. I will go first." Dugu Feng bowed to Fairy Jin Xi, and an amazing sword energy wrapped around the three members of the Black Desert Alliance and shot forward.
Fairy Jin Xi did not move immediately, but spread her spiritual sense to try to find Yuan Ming.
However, the power of the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation skyrocketed, and the restrictions on spiritual sense were greatly enhanced. Fairy Jin Xi's spiritual sense expanded to the limit, but she could not find Yuan Ming's trace, so she had to give up helplessly.
The golden book fell into her hands, and a circle of golden halo bloomed outward, covering her and Pi Xiu, and flew forward.
Somewhere in the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation, which was becoming more and more powerful, a small green tripod was quietly suspended, and it was occasionally rolled up and down by the storm. It was the Stealing Heaven Tripod.
The yellow cloud storm hit the Stealing Heaven Tripod, but could not hurt it at all.
Yuan Ming was in the space of Stealing Heaven Cauldron at the moment. His clothes were torn and he was seriously injured, but his face was very calm.
Just after being blown away by the collapsed shield, he deliberately fell into the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation to escape.
Soon they would reach the third floor of the Black Tower. A group of Yuanying-stage cultivators would definitely fight. Yuan Ming didn't want to get involved. Anyway, with Yan Sijing, a believer, as a medium, he could easily monitor the situation above through the power of this woman's wish, just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Yuan Ming took out a healing pill and swallowed it. He sat on the white jade lotus platform and communicated with Yan Sijing with his consciousness, asking her to pray to the Dark Moon God again.
Yan Sijing was taken by the old ancestor Lei Ming at this moment and had already flown out of the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation. Hearing Yuan Ming's voice transmission, he immediately obeyed and prayed silently in his heart.
Yuan Ming grasped this wish power, and his consciousness fell down, spreading out at an extremely fast speed.
The magic array in Yindu City couldn't stop the divine sense falling from the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, let alone the Wanli Yellow Sand Array. The entire second floor of the Black Tower was within the range of his divine sense detection, and not a single bit was missed.
The Heaven Stealing Cauldron rose and fell in the rolling yellow clouds. There was no strange breath nearby, and no divine sense detected it.
Yuan Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked elsewhere.
Somewhere in the Yellow Sand Array, a yellowish-brown gourd was quietly suspended, and a stream of crystal clear yellow sand spewed out of the gourd, which continued to merge into the surrounding yellow clouds. It should be the Tiansha gourd mentioned by Dugu Feng.
A layer of yellow flames was burning on the Tiansha gourd at this moment, and the yellow sand it spewed out was getting brighter and brighter.
"Is it burning the power of the origin of the magic weapon? No wonder the power of the Wanli Yellow Sand Array is getting stronger and stronger! Tsk tsk, it's really a big deal!" Yuan Ming muttered to himself in a daze.
With his current understanding of magic weapons, he only knew that burning the essence of magic weapons could stimulate power far beyond the normal level, but the price was permanent damage to the magic weapon, or even complete collapse.
As for how it was done, he didn't know.
However, not all magic weapons can burn the essence, it seems that only when the number of runes reaches more than eight can do so, and the cost is not small.
